Important Safety Warnings
Read all instructions before setup and use of this product. Recognizing the hazards of each workshop operation and
proper attention to safety to anticipate problems will considerably limit the risk of personal injury. Always use common
sense. Your personal safety is your responsibility.
1. Do not use this pedestal roller to support people or animals. Do not sit or stand on it.
2. Keep children away. Never allow children to play with the pedestal roller.
3. Ensure that the material can be securely supported by the pedestal roller and will not vibrate or move unexpectedly
during use.
4. Do not continue working if the pedestal roller tips, slides or moves in any way.
5. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity. PM-5080: 132 lbs. (60 kg.) PM-5083: 200 lbs. (91kg.)
6. Think safety and provide extra support like a second stand or consider getting assistance from another person for
extremely large or long pieces when working.
7. Check for damaged parts before use. A broken part could compromise the strength and performance of the
pedestal roller and create an unsafe operating condition.
8. Proper maintenance is your responsibility. For safety, periodically check hardware for tightness, and replace
damaged components immediately.
9. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of other parts will void the warranty.
10. Use the pedestal roller on a flat and level surface.
11. Use the correct tools for the job. This roller top may not be suitable for every application.
12. Maintain safety labels on this tool for clear readability. If missing or unreadable, please contact HTC for a
replacement.
13. Never stand or sit on tools.
14. Replace damaged components immediately.
15. Make sure your work platform is sufficiently sturdy to do the specific job at hand.
16. Properly anchor power tools to work stands.
17. Use correct blade for job being done.
18. Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator awareness, common sense and alertness at all times.

General Power Tool Safety Precautions
Using power tools of any kind can be dangerous if safe operating procedures are not followed. Recognizing the
hazards of each tool and using them with respect and caution will considerably limit the risk of personal injury.
1. Keep the work area well illuminated and clean. Cluttered benches, misplaced tools, messy floors and dimly lit work
surfaces can lead to injuries. Maintain a safe work environment by making sure you have an adequate surrounding
workspace that is dry and clear of debris.
2. Stay Alert Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tools while you are tired, under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication. Avoid distractions because a moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
3. Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that may get caught
in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Long hair must be contained.
4. Always Wear Safety Protection – Recommendations for power tool usage include: safety glasses that comply with
ANSI Z87.1 standards, earmuffs to reduce noise exposure, and a face or dust mask to prevent inhalation of sanding
dust.
5. Keep Children and Visitors Away Operate tools at a safe distance from onlookers and distractions. Be cautious
of flying debris and sparks if onlookers are present. Store power tools locked up and out of the reach of children.
Tools are very dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Do Not Overreach – Take care to maintain proper footing and balance at all time. Clamps and other practical
ways to secure and support the workpiece or to keep power cords from moving during operation make work safer.
Holding your work by hand or against your body for support is unstable and may lead to loss of control and injury.
7. Electrical Safety If a tool is equipped with a three-prong plug then it is specifically designed for a grounded three-
hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter or extension cord is used, always use a three-prong type attached to a
known grounded electrical connection and NEVER remove the third prong. Do not abuse the cord. Keep the power
cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects. Grasp the plug when disconnecting from the power receptacle
and do NOT pull from the cord. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
8. Disconnect Tool Switch the power off and unplug the tool when not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories. Do not carry a plugged in tool. Avoid accidental starting by making certain the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging in the power cord. Never leave a tool running unattended.
9. Do Not Force Tool – The tool will do a better job and be safer sanding at a moderate rate.
10. Check Tools Regularly Inspect tools periodically for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage or
damaged parts. Repair or replace any damaged parts before further operation. Follow the instructions on
recommended accessory changes and lubrication maintenance. Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn the
tool on and off correctly. Storing tools in a dry location will inhibit performance damage due to rust.
11. Use only approved parts and accessories. The use of replacement parts from unauthorized sources may present a
risk of personal injury. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another
tool.
12. Warning: Work in a well ventilated area at all times. Dust from wood, plastic and other materials may be hazardous
to your health so you should always wear a dust mask when sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, etc. Many power
tools provide built-in vacuum attachment dust ports designed to provide proper dust removal and it is highly
recommended that you have one properly fitted to your tool when in operation to reduce your exposure to harmful
chemicals.

Assembly Instructions
See parts list table and Figure-1 for names and identification of the
components and hardware.
Tools Required (not included): 5mm Allen Wrench, 6mm Allen Wrench,
Adjustable Wrench
Remove components from the box and spread them out to make certain that
all parts and hardware are included and are not damaged from shipment.
Complete the assembly before discarding the box.
1. Begin by inserting a Cylinder Nut (I) into the hole at the bottom of a Vertical
Leg (B). Orient the hole in the Cylinder Nut facing up as shown in Figure-2.
2. Place a Small Screw (J) through the Horizontal Foot (A) as shown in
Figure-3 so that the head of the screw is inside the tube. A 5mm Allen
Wrench (not included) is useful to keep the screw steady during alignment.
3. Tighten the Small Screw firmly into the Cylinder Nut with the 5mm Allen
Wrench as in Figure-4.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other Vertical Leg.
5. Next fasten the two Vertical Legs together at the hinge point with a Large
Screw (F). Use a Large Washer (G) and a Large Nut (H) to complete the
assembly as shown in Figure-5. The Large Screw is tightened using a 6mm
Allen Wrench (not included) while a standard adjustable wrench holds the
nut steady.
6. Identify the slotted hole at one end of the Internal Extension Arm (D). This
is the top front side that will align with the product labels. Insert this Arm
(D) into the short Leg so that the small hole is facing to the back hinge as
shown in Figure-6.
7. Fasten the Height Adjustment Handle (E) into the pre-drilled hole on the

Operating Instructions
Setting up the Pedestal Roller Stand properly is the key to safe use. This Stand is designed to safely support the
maximum weight at the maximum height setting. Do not overload the stand.
1. Be sure the stand legs are fully opened and situated on a flat level surface.
2. Ensure the stand height is set level to the bottom of the workpiece for stability.
3. Be sure that the adjustable handle is fully tightened before using the stand.
4. It is extremely dangerous to loosen the adjustable handle while the stand is supporting a load.
5. Safe maintenance includes periodically checking all hardware for tightness prior to use.
Adjusting the 3-in-1 Roller Head
(PM-5083 model only)
The PM-5083 features a handy 3-in-1 roller head that can be set in three
different positions depending on the project and the shape of your workpiece.
See Figure-8.
1. Position-1: Flat surface up. Use this position if the workpiece needs to
be supported but does not need to move, such as in a gluing or assembly
process.
2. Position-2: Large roller surface up. Use this position when your project
requires the workpiece to move only in one direction, such as an infeed or
outfeed support in a sawing process.
3. Position-3: Ball bearing roller surface up. Use this position when the
workpiece needs to move in more than one direction, such as aligning
your piece under a drill press.
